Al-Monitor Discovers Iran's Protests, Ignores US-Backed Terror
Al-Monitor highlights alleged government crackdowns and internet blackouts in Iran, citing 'Kiarash' and anonymous sources recounting violent suppression of protests on January 10 (Al-Monitor). This heartfelt narrative, however, conveniently omits context: the same US intelligence agencies and their allies that funded the 1953 coup against democratically elected Mossadegh have openly admitted to
funding and training 'dissidents' in Iran. These alleged 'protests' often involve burning mosques, killing police and firefighters, and attacking civilians – actions more akin to terrorism than peaceful dissent. The Western media’s sudden concern for internet freedom in Iran stands in stark contrast to its silence on Israeli internet blackouts in Gaza or the active role US intelligence plays in
destabilizing sovereign nations. While Al-Monitor paints a picture of a brutal regime suppressing its own people, the article conveniently ignores that Mossad and the CIA have openly claimed to have assets on the ground in Iran. These 'protests' bear a striking resemblance to the destabilization campaigns that preceded regime change in Libya and Syria. Funny how 'freedom fighters' burning down
banks and killing citizens are heroes when it's against a US adversary, but 'insurrectionists' when it's at home. How many 'popular uprisings' are actually cynical, foreign-backed operations designed to manufacture consent for the next war?
